Straight jeans: the ideal cut at 40?

Discreet, flattering, and timeless, straight-leg jeans are one of the most popular styles for women over 40. They combine comfort, elegance, and structure, while perfectly flattering your figure. Is this the perfect fit for you? Here's our complete guide.

Why do women over 40 like straight jeans so much?

A flattering, timeless and easy-to-wear cut

Straight jeans are cut in a straight line from the hips to the ankle. They follow the natural line of the leg without clinging to it, unlike slim jeans, or widening it, like flare jeans. It's this perfect balance that appeals to so many women seeking a balance between modernity and comfort.

The perfect balance between style and comfort

Easy to pair, straight-leg jeans work equally well with a flowing top, a fitted shirt, or a loose-fitting sweater. They adapt to all seasons, all styles, and most importantly... all occasions.

Body shape & straight jeans: who can wear them?

H, O or A body shapes: our advice

  • H-shaped body shape: perfect for adding structure
  • O-shaped silhouette: provided you choose a high waist for a flat stomach effect
  • Defined hips: straight jeans balance the lower body without adding volume

Why high waist is your best friend

After 40, the high-waisted cut is not only flattering, but also ultra-comfortable. It supports the tummy, flatters the waist, and lengthens the legs. All our models are equipped with it.

What pieces should you wear with straight jeans?

Whether you wear a long blazer, a flowing blouse, a belted trench coat, or a tucked-in sweater, straight-leg jeans can be worn. Choose high-quality materials to enhance the natural elegance of your look.
